For years, one of the big projects for Mayor Newsom was the re-development of Treasure Island.  It was important enough, or excuse enough, to fire Tony Hall.  The choice of a project leader for that site has been one political nightmare after another. Now, it appears that the whole thing may have been a good idea in the wrong place.  

There is this little problem with the fact that the oceans and the atmosphere are both warming.  When water warms, it expands and the sea level rise is like a Mavericks wave about to hit. Now, they are talking about having to truck in more land fill do deal with a 3 ft rise in sea level forecast within 70 years.  Wonder what happens when that is not enough.

I guess that is what happens when developers and politicians get together.  They get swamped with reality. Or is this just another Newsom bad judgment?

Now, I want some one to tell me one more time why it is too expensive to solve global warming now.  The real costs of avoidance are beginning to hit and, like a wave approaching shore, they will only get higher.
